>> Programme Topics
>> Pharmaceutical Research and Drug Development in the New
> Millennium.
>> New Advances in Human Diversity.
> This section will highlight important new advances in our
> understanding of individual factors involved in pharmacokinetic and
> pharmacodynamic variability. Speakers will focus on the contributing
> role of age, gender, disease and genetic polymorphism in intersubject
> variability.
>> The New Era of Pharmacogenomics
> This section will concentrate on methods involved in
> pharmacogenetic studies as well as the clinical application of
> pharmacogenetic research. Speaker topics will introduce the audience
> to pharmacogenetics, pharmacogenomics, proteomics and bioinformation
> sources in drug development, subject selection and clinical study
> design.
>> Subject Selection in Drug Testing.
> This section will provide an in depth discussion on subject
> selection in clinical trials with a focus on regulatory aspects.
> Issues pertaining to inter- and intra- subject variability in
> bioequivalency studies and current views on the inclusion of women and
> other targeted patient groups in clinical trials will be presented.
> The audience will have the opportunity to critically discuss current
> regulatory perspectives on these issues.
>> Challenges of Drug Delivery to Targeted Patients.
> This section will summarize issues encountered in drug delivery
> to special population groups with emphasis on pediatric, geriatric and
> palliative care patients. Speakers will provide examples and address
> special concerns of drug delivery to these patients. This symposium
> will also include a discussion on novel advances in the use of gene
> therapy to treat diseases such as cystic fibrosis.
